Interface TypeContext<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

BinaryContext, BooleanContext, DateContext, GenericContext, NumberContext, StringContext, TemporalContext

public interface TypeContext<T>

A type context provides two basic services:

1. It enforces some sort of rule/limit regarding size, accuracy or similar. This feature is for instance useful when writing data to a database where attributes are often very specifically typed. "enforcing" is typically a one-way operation that cannot be undone.
2. It translates back and forth between some specific type and String - essentially a Format.
